Chapter 18: Aftermath of the Attack (1)
The Dursleys were a little flustered, at least after Harry Potter had dragged Dudley Dursley back from outside. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The last time the Dursleys were like this was probably last year, when several wizards blew up the Dursleys' living room, and in the presence of their guests, and of course, Dudley was tricked because of gluttony......
This time, though, things are a little different.
If last time it was caused by the incursions of many wizards who were unfamiliar with the situation in the Muggle world, this time, it was the various owls that made the situation worse. The last time owls of this magnitude were seen was four years ago, when Vernon intercepted Harry Potter's admission notices one by one and burned them.
However, this time, compared to four years ago, owls appear more frequently, and even the type of letter has changed.
From the admission notice to the Ministry of Magic, at least, the influence is much greater than the admission notice, and the source of the letter is no longer just Hogwarts, from the Ministry of Magic to Arthur Weasley, Cialis Black, and even Dumbledore have sent a roaring letter......
So Harry Potter was grounded...... Although he didn't have much room to move around, at least the Dursleys wouldn't be happy to have him in front of their neighbors every once in a while, and in fact, to most of the Dursleys' neighbors, they didn't know that the Dursleys had a child other than Dudley.
After herding Harry Potter into the room, Petunia slumped down on the couch.
The experience of going to Hogwarts a month or two ago is still in front of me, Severus Snape, and Albus Dumbledore. The door to the magical world, which was unexpectedly open to her, suddenly gave her a blow to the head.
Dudley's reception made her rethink her situation and her previous thoughts.
Maybe Dumbledore can't cover the sky in the wizarding world, and the incomparable and omnipotent Dumbledore who was once touted by his sister is not as powerful as he imagined. At least, he can't prevent everything in advance......
With this in mind, Penny regained her attention to the letter she was holding. It was still that kind of intricately textured letterhead, and Holly's face instantly appeared in front of Penny's eyes.
For Holly, the daughter of her own sister, Penny also has mixed feelings. On the one hand, it is Holly's face that resembles Lily, and on the other hand, it is Holly's cold personality, which is the same as Severus Snape......
Pursing her lips, Penny ignored Vernon, who was stamping his feet on the side, not knowing what to do, and re-read the contents of Holly's letter.
"Vernon. Penny said.
"Huh?"
"That kid...... Did you go up?"
"Which one?
"......" Petunia didn't know what to say, at least she couldn't recognize Vernon's name.
"It's up. Vernon responded.
"Okay, clean up, there will be guests coming over later. ”
"Guest?" Vernon's first reaction was that some neighbor had learned about his affairs and was ready to come and see the excitement.
"The countess who came last year...... Penny was not prepared to say Holly's name, and likewise, the relationship with Holly was only prepared to be a way back to hide it.
"Oh, what's going on, why didn't you say that before?"
"News just came. Penny raised the letter in her hand. "Who knows what's going on?"

A short time later, Holly appeared at the door of Dursley's house in a Muggle car. Without taking himself too seriously, Holly looked at his surroundings and wondered how Dumbledore had managed to leak a loophole for the Dark Lord to exploit.
Even if the general operation process is clear, it is difficult for Holly to imagine what is missing in Dumbledore's defense system.
A powerful spell protects the house at 4 Privet Road, and as long as Harry Potter himself runs a long distance without dying, at least Holly doesn't think that the Dementors can force him to use a wand against the Dementors, even if Harry Potter reacts more strongly to the Dementors.
Without much time to observe, Holly could detect someone staring at a house in the distance, a Muggle.
As for wizards, at least there is no way for Holly to release his consciousness to sense the fluctuations around him without alerting Dumbledore.
From a distance, Holly could detect the fluctuations in the magic of various defensive magics.
He didn't stay outside for too long, and the reason why Holly came here was not to bring warmth to Harry Potter, but to finish it.
The Ministry of Magic report only mentions that Harry Potter cast the Patronus Charm in front of a Muggle, and does not mention the Muggle's relationship with Harry Potter, but Holly is sure that it must be the Dursley's little fat man - the Dementor will not attack a Muggle for no reason, unless that Muggle will affect their movements, and as for a Muggle who can appear in the same place as Harry Potter at the same time, Holly does not think there is any other option.
Although it is believed that Dudley Dursley will not be sucked by the Dementors, the influence of the Dementors on people is quite large...... Ordinary wizards as big as Harry Potter who are unconscious, or Neville Longbottom, who are frozen and unable to move, and who don't have particularly bad memories, will feel chills most of the time......
As for Muggles, Holly wasn't sure what kind of reaction would be, but one thing that was certain was that Muggles had very little research on this kind of soul, at least if the Dementor had ever prepared to suck the soul out of a body, then there would definitely be a certain misalignment between the soul and the body of this person......
Is it probably the consequence of losing the soul, and then the body slowly weakens, and the soul slowly dissipates? It's probably like a closed container, after being broken, something will slowly overflow along the cracks anyway......
Muggles are not like wizards, and can slowly mend these rifts through magic or their own adjustments......
Maybe there were Muggles who could have done that, but ...... Those who had some attainments in the soul had been regarded as heretics by other Muggles hundreds of years ago, and had been baptized by fire along with wizards who liked to go out and play Muggles......
